Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: The elbow restraint on the right arm would prevent the client from bending the arm to pull the IV out of the left hand. The client's movements are minimally restricted, which is a major requirement of restraints. A jacket restraint would not prevent the client from pulling out his IV and four-point restraints would be more than is needed for this client. Leather restraints are only used for the criminal or very violent client who requires very strong restraints.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Both the nurse and the respiratory therapist violated the client's confidentiality when they held a discussion, containing private client information, in a public place, and the nurse no longer has a need to know about the client's status.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
